"Hecho Para Ti," a group exhibit curated by artist and educator, Carlos Donjuan, is comprised of artists that analyze their experiences and history through visuals that investigate their Latino experiences in America. In a time of discouragement, division, and uncertainty these artists continue to resist and empower through their art.

One component of the artist’s work carries a greater emphasis on community in effort to remain a beacon of light for those that feel unheard, afraid, or lost. The works in this exhibition document and narrate the experiences of the artists through their own use of unique and intimate imagery. The paintings, sculptures and mixed media pieces created utilize a visceral fusion of concepts that combine imagery from family photos, sign painting, tattoo culture, Latino Culture, Catholicism and Pre- Colombian Art, among others.

"Hecho Para Ti” (Made for You) carries a greater purpose now more than ever as a form of inspiration for the community. Artists include Ricardo Oviedo, Joy Reyes, Arturo Donjuan, Nadia Rosales, Jesus Trujillo, Michelle Gonzales, Emily Donjuan, Francisco Marquez, and Carlos Donjuan.
